The R1R2' outer ring revealed by young open cluster data
Anna Mel'nik, Pertti Rautiainen, Elena Glushkova +1
The distribution of young open clusters in the Galactic plane suggests the existence of the outer ring R1R2' in the Galaxy. The solar position angle theta_b providing the best agre…
Evidence of the Galactic outer ring R1R2' from young open clusters and OB-associations
A. M. Melnik, P. Rautiainen, E. V. Glushkova +1
The distribution of young open clusters in the Galactic plane within 3 kpc from the Sun suggests the existence of the outer ring R1R2' in the Galaxy. The optimum value of the solar…
Classical Cepheids in the Galactic outer ring R1R2'
A. M. Mel'nik, P. Rautiainen, L. N. Berdnikov +2
The kinematics and distribution of classical Cepheids within ~3 kpc from the Sun suggest the existence of the outer ring R1R2' in the Galaxy. The optimum value of the solar positio…
Straight segments in the galactic discs
A. M. Mel'nik, P. Rautiainen
We study the properties of the straight segments forming in N-body simulations of the galactic discs. The properties of these features are consistent with the observational ones su…
Two-component outer ring and the Galactic spiral structure
A. M. Mel'nik, P. Rautiainen
Model of the Galaxy with the ring R1R2' can explain some large-scale morphological features of the Galactic spiral structure. The Carina-Sagittarius arm can consist of two ascendin…
Kinematics of the outer pseudorings and the spiral structure of the Galaxy
A. M. Melnik, P. Rautiainen
The kinematics of the outer rings and pseudorings is determined by two processes: the resonance tuning and the gas outflow. The resonance kinematics is clearly observed in the pure…
